Safety or suicide, Garret Shivley’s Niagara Power have made a habit of using squeeze bunts to score runners this season. Monday night Sue Kane was, so to speak, “Jenny” (as opposed to Johnny) on the spot for the Power’s latest wringing.
Earlier this season, the Power turned the all-too-rare trick of the “double squeeze” where a Niagara Power runner at second broke with the pitch and scored behind his teammate at third on a bunt down the first baseline.
this is just a brilliant photography sequence…
congratulations to sue kane for “squeezing” the shutter…
Great work as always Paul!
You mention the double-squeeze, it was one of the most amazing things I have seen in baseball.
It came back at Olean on June 18th in the 2nd inning of game one of a double-header. Shaq Newton laid down a perfect bunt allowing both Spencer Bowles (who was at third) and Alex Lagos (who broke from second with the pitch) to score.
Doug Smith and I were stunned that they were able to pull it off. Shows the aggressive nature of this team. They have game changing speed.
Big win for the Power last night, 12-2 at Hornell, nice start to the stretch run.
Thanks for your work Paul.
